Three Ways to Donate to Paz Oaxaca

Partners in Paz: Annual Scholarship Campaign

With everyone's support and hard work, we raised $2,111.94 on Giving Tuesday!

This was a special occasion, but Paz Oaxaca works every day to empower children and their families through equitable quality education.

If would like to continue to support our work, on our Give to Paz page you can set up an easy, regular donation. For example, just sacrificing 1 coffee a month, you can provide a child’s classroom materials for those same 30 days.

​You can now donate to the Protección through Paz Oaxaca!

​La Protección a la JovenFounded in 1953, the Protección is a Oaxacan nonprofit that offers room, board, and community to young women studying in Oaxaca, many of whom of are of indigenous descent from rural areas with limited resources. This amazing organization provides social, emotional, academic, and spiritual support while promoting the young women's cultural identity.

​At Paz, our goal is to offer an equitable quality education to children in Oaxaca, Mexico. Here in Oaxaca, even the public school options come at a cost and are fraught with politics and corruption.

To give all children options for a brighter future, Kelly Bodtke and Abraham Vásquez opened the Paz Dual Language Immersion Montessori program in 2015 with a goal of offering financial aid through full and partial scholarships to 2/3 of the children.

Since Paz opened its doors, interest has grown and there are now 65 children attending Paz programs with nearly 50% of families receiving financial aid.

Your generous donations allow Paz to continue to inch towards the goal of 2/3 of the students receiving financial aid. For the 2018 – 2019 academic year, our goal is to raise $45,000 USD giving 14 full scholarships, and 23 partial scholarships to families in Oaxaca.
